Hello everyone , I’m seeking assistance with an issue I’m encountering while making backend changes. Despite my efforts, the changes aren’t reflecting as expected. Any guidance or support would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. ---

Hi @ravi . if you are making any changes in the backend Java Source code then you should follow these steps for changes to reflect - Run the maven build again to re-build the War file ```auto mvn clean install -DskipTests ``` - Recreate the Openelis webapp container ```auto docker-compose -f dev.docker-compose.yml up -d --no-deps --force-recreate oe.openelis.org ``` ---

Hey @ravi , no worries at all! Everyone starts somewhere. It’s awesome that you’re diving into open source. Taking a look at the readme is a great idea. Let me know if you need any help along the way. Happy coding! 😊🌟 ---

Ideally, when you need assistance or need help its important to know this checklist for an awesome and good question; 1. What is the problem you are encountering 2. What steps have you taken to solve it(or any resources you have used) 3. Share the error(logs)/blocker you have encounterd if any ( you can use tools like [pastebin.com](http://pastebin.com)) … ---

Just wanted to ask while recreating Openelis-webapp container should I stop the other containers entirely and then use the command or just stop the webapp container and then run the command while not stopping other containers. ---

Hey @Prajjwal_Kohli better stop all the containers and recreate the openelis-webapp container and give all containers a fresh start. Because [openelis-webapp container] is main backed operations heavy container. ---

Hey @Prajjwal_Kohli I think better will be to stop other containers otherwise it may show error that port is already occupied. I have faced this issue. So i’ll suggest to just stop other containers then re-create Openelis-webapp container. ---
